The claim
Exército está na retaguarda no RS e vídeos mostram suas ações
Original review summary
The post used videos to argue that the Army was not directly helping with rescues in Rio Grande do Sul, but two videos were old and did not show recent rescue actions there. The journalist later acknowledged the videos were old and said he had used them as a “fake news test” on TikTok.[S1]
Additional context
The program featuring the post aired on May 10. The review says the video of the overturned armored vehicle was recorded in 2018 in Mato Grosso do Sul, while the video of a woman falling from an Army truck was filmed in Santa Catarina and had circulated since October 2023. [S1]
